Not having it for workers seems better as service workers definitely cannot have it and people already write algorithms on top of "environment settings object" assuming this thing is always there.

Looks like right now that's the only thing the Worker responsible browsing context is used for. 115599 4 annevk 2014-11-27 08:11:44 +0000 I think "disable scripting" if such a setting still makes sense this day and age should not be tied to a browsing context. That would not work for a service worker for instance. 115677 5 ian 2014-11-29 00:26:24 +0000 Well what's the UI for turning off scripting going to be? The only UI I'm aware of these days is at the browsing context level. 115687 6 annevk 2014-11-29 15:37:10 +0000 I would imagine we're going to a world of per-origin preferences. So you can manage notifications, storage, etc. Perhaps disable scripting can be there too, if UAs are still interested in supporting that use case without extension. 125642 7 annevk 2016-03-28 13:19:25 +0000 No longer convinced this makes sense. We probably still need to make changes, but workers keeping some kind of link to their owner is likely important for SharedArrayBuffer.
